The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling
Henry Fielding
A foundling, Tom Jones, grows up to be a kind-hearted and loving youth who falls in love with his neighbor's daughter, Sophia Western. However, their love is opposed due to Tom's status as a bastard, highlighting the class friction in 18th-century society. This romantic comedy also includes prostitution and sexual promiscuity, which was groundbreaking for its time, but criticized for its "lowness."
